Double centurion Alister coock



 Double century against India


Alister cook



 Alastair Cook's career-best 294 laid the platform for England to beat India at Edgbaston and so 

replace the tourists as the world's best Test side.
Alister Cook's dominating show led England to a massive first innings total of 710 for 7 declared 

on the 3rd day of the 3rd Test on Friday.
It was England's best in Tests for 73 years and their third highest of all-time behind their 903 for 7

declared against Australia at The Oval in 1938 and 849 against the West Indies at Kingston in 

1930.
England's day then got better still when India lost Virender Sehwag for his second first ball nought 

of the match, the recalled opener completing a 'king pair' when he edged a drive off James 

Anderson to home skipper Andrew Strauss at first slip.
India were 35 for one at stumps -- still needing 451 more runs just to make England bat again.
Fit-again opener Gautam Gambhir was 14 not out and veteran Rahul Dravid 34 not out.
It all left England superbly placed to go an unbeatable 3-0 up in this four-match series and secure a 
win that would see them replace India at the top of the ICC's Test Championship table.

Cook was 182 not out and Eoin Morgan, dropped twice off easy chances Thursday, 44 not out.

Cook's leg-side clip for two off fast bowler Shathakumaran Sreesanth took the 26-year-old to his 
second Test double century.
Essex's Cook, 206 not out at lunch, stroked leg-spinner Amit Mishra through the covers for a three 
to surpass his previous Test best of 235 not out against Australia in Brisbane in November.
